There are only two months remaining to recognize your team’s hard work and improvement by nominating them for a 2026 Prism Award. The deadline for submissions is June 1, 2026.
The PayrollOrg® (PAYO) Strategic Payroll Leadership Task Force (SPLTF) annually presents Payroll Prism Awards to payroll organizations that have demonstrated leadership in the following best practices categories over the last two years:
- Overall Best Practices
- Management
- Processes
- Technology
Additionally, service organizations that have demonstrated leadership in Shared Services over the last two years are presented with a Prism Award by the Shared Services Task Force (SSTF). Shared Services is the consolidation of business operations that are used by multiple parts of the same organization, providing cost-effective, flexible, and reliable services.
Companies of all sizes are welcome to participate, and any department involved in payroll, finance, or accounting is eligible.
Nominate your organization today for a Payroll Prism Award or a Shared Services Prism Award before time runs out.
